DESIGN YOUR OWN MAJOR!

The Interdisciplinary Studies in Three Departments (IS3D) major at San
Diego State University is a special major designed for students whose
career goal or academic interest is not addressed by an existing SDSU
major or major/minor pattern. Because three disciplines are involved,
the program must have a clear focus and depth that make academic sense;
the areas of study and the choice of courses within these departments
must complement each other. Students are responsible for identifying the
departments and classes they propose to include in their custom major.

PLEASE NOTE: New students cannot be admitted to SDSU under the IS3D
major. Instead, they must apply under a published major and attend new
student orientation for the major under which they are admitted. Such
students should concentrate on satisfying General Education requirements
their first semester and work on having an IS3D master plan in place
prior to registration for their second semester.

All students interested in the IS3D major should view the 17 minute informational podcast about the major and create an initial draft of a master planBEFORE visiting the IS3D office for walk-in advising. Links to the podcast are below.
